    What country is at 85% vaccinated?

    Because it's not distributed widely enough until that point. This has been known for a year or so...

    How many times are the goal posts going to move? We’ve gone from 70% of adults needing to be fully vaccinated to reach “herd immunity” and now we’re sitting at countries with 90+ percent fully vaccinated not seeing results, a second booster and demands that children now get the jab. What’s the next benchmark going to be?

    91% of the people allowed to get the vaccine.
    If there is a sect of people( children) not able to get it, due to government restrictions, then they shouldn't be a factor in the equation.

    Or should we go yell at the kids to go get vaccinated?

    “Were at 91% but those damned kids just wont get jabbed!!!”

    So if children have been restricted from getting the vaccine, how come people weren't saying, we need “x” percent vaxxed, but kids make up “x” percent, so we actually need “x” percent of adults vaccinated to reach herd immunity.

    Goal posts moved quite a bit on this one…

    The constant omission of facts just allows wiggle room for caveats and technicalities later if things don’t pan out. It’s like an insurance policy to guarantee they’ll have an excuse later, when they arbitrarily decide to introduce a factor into the equation that was never part of it in the first place.
    Soon enough “fully vaccinated” will mean 4 shots, and all the data will shift once again.

    No epidemiologist ever said 70% of adults would be herd immunity... It has always been around 85% of the population.

    You're completely ignoring natural immunity... Which school age children have especially.

    I just quickly went back and read a few articles from around May, when most were eligible, and each one said we don't know for sure, each disease is different, some diseases its 70, some 95. And mutations have a big affect on the percentage, but all were guessing higher than lower. And all said percent of the population, not eligible population.

    There is a reason children were not excluded from the 85%... They spread it and carry it very capably.

    My friend's whole family was infected by a kid. One died so far, several in the hospital right now. Literally 50+ people. A kid brought it home from school.

    This isn't about rules. It's about reality. In order to get to where we need to be we need pretty much 100% of people over 12 to get vaccinated.

    Nobody knew when kids would be approved... And they don't need to be if everyone else gets vaccinated.
